The 2013 HBA Global Expo will take place June 18-20 at New York City’s Jacob Javits Convention Center. The show attracts thousands of visitors—last year, more than 6,500 beauty companies were represented, as well as hundreds of exhibiting suppliers. A high-level opening session will kick-off the three days of learning, sourcing and networking.
Once again, the show will feature the annual IPDA Awards for outstanding package design. The competition is sponsored by Beauty Packaging and Happi magazines.
Visitors to HBA will also find:
· The “SPLASH” Pavilion, showcasing 30 new brands from around the world
· A New Product Showcase, highlighting some of the exhibitors’ not-to-be-missed items
· The Trend Spot Theatre, featuring expert speakers
· The OMNI Purchasing Solutions Pavilion, highlighting retail solutions, such as mobile technologies, P-O-P, store fixtures and digital media
· The SPA Services & Products Pavilion, highlighting products and services for the wellness, holistic healing and resort industries
The HBA Global Expo also offers many opportunities for education, and this year there’s a new one-day special event—the IoPP Packaging Learning Center Conference. It will take place on Wednesday, June 19, and will cover a range of packaging-specific topics, including design and contract manufacturing.
